Preface
The 10th International Symposium on Graph Drawing (GD 2002) was held on
August 26–28, 2002, at Irvine, California. The conference attracted 74 partici-
pants from academic and industrial institutions in 14 countries.
Asinpreviousyears,thereviewprocesswascompetitive:24outof48regular
submissionswereaccepted.Inaddition,9shortpapersand8systemdemonstra-
tions(1withdrawn)werealsoaccepted.Eachsubmissionwasrefereedbyatleast
4 members of the program committee, and detailed comments were returned to
the authors.
GD2002invitedtwospeakers:FrankRuskey,fromtheUniversityofVictoria,

of Technology, gave a talk on techniques for interactive graph drawing.
As usual, the Graph Drawing contest was held during the conference. The
report on the contest is included in the proceedings.
We would like to thank all the people who helped organize and run the
conference. We would like to thank our sponsors: ILOG, MERL (Mitsubishi
Electric Research Laboratories), sd&m (Software Design & Management), Tom
Sawyer Software, and the University of California, Irvine. We would also like to
thank all the contributors and participants who made GD 2002 a success.
The 11th International Symposium of Graph Drawing (GD 2003) will be
held on September 21–24, 2003 at Perugia, Italy, with Giuseppe Liotta as the
conference chair.

In Memoriam: Ivan Rival
The Graph Drawing community is saddened by the loss of Ivan Rival in Jan-
uary, 2002. Ivan was a Professor in the School of Information Technology and
Engineering at the University of Ottawa, where he led the Algorithms Research
Group. He was raised in Hamilton, Ontario, earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics at
the University of Manitoba, and taught there until joining the University of Ot-
tawa in 1986. He was internationally known for his outstanding research work
in discrete mathematics and combinatorial geometry.
Ivan had a profound interest in all aspects of ordered sets. In the 1980s,
he organized a number of workshops on this topic; their proceedings, which he
edited, are still in demand. He also founded a journal, Order, available from
Kluwer Academic Publishers. Ivan’s interest in the applications of precedence
constraintstoschedulingandmotionplanningledhimtoanewkindofproblem:
howtovisualizeorderedsets.Itwasthisinterestthatpromptedhisparticipation
inthegraphdrawingcommunityinitsearlydays.Hepublishedvariouspaperson
graph drawing problems and he served on the program committee for GD 1994.
His interest in precedence constraints also led him to design software that aids
students in planning their course schedules. This software grew into a company,
Decision Academic Graphics, which he founded. Its main product is the Degree
Navigator software that is used by dozens of colleges and universities in North
America.
Ivan’s contributions to the graph drawing literature include the following
papers:
– “The Diagram,” in Graphs and Orders, Kluwer, 1985.
– “Representing Orders on the Plane by Translating Convex Figures,” Order
4:319–339, 1988 (with J. Urrutia)
– “Graphical Data Structures for Ordered Sets,” in Algorithms and Order,
Kluwer, 1989
– “Bipartite Graphs, Upward Drawings, and Planarity,”Information Process-
ing Letters 36:317–322, 1990 (with G. Di Battista and W.-P. Liu)
– “Light Sources, Obstructions and Spherical Orders,” Discrete Mathematics
102:13–24, 1992 (with S. Foldes and J. Urrutia)
– “Reading, Drawing, and Order,” in Algebras and Order, Kluwer, 1993
– “Upward Drawing on Surfaces,” Proc. GD 1993, 1993
– “Upward Drawings to Fit Surfaces,” Proc. ORDAL 1994, LNCS 831, 1994

1966 (with S.M. Hashemi and A. Kisielewicz)
– “Series-Parallel Planar Ordered Sets Have Pagenumber Two,” Proc. GD
1996, LNCS 1190, 1997 (with M. Alzohairi)

InadditiontofoundingthejournalOrder,Ivanservedontheeditorialboards
of Algebra Universalis, and Discrete Mathematics. He also edited the following
books:
– Ordered Sets, Reidel/Kluwer, 1982, ISBN 9027713960
– Graphs and Order, Kluwer, 1985, ISBN 9027719438
– Combinatorics and Ordered Sets, American Mathematical Society, 1986,
ISBN 0821850512
– Algorithms and Order, Kluwer, 1989, ISBN 0792300076
These books are the proceedings of conferences Ivan organized (two NATO
conferences, a joint AMS-IMS-SIAM summer research conference, and another
NATO conference, respectively).
Ivan’s interest in all aspects of order relations intersected naturally with the
developing graph drawing community’s interest in graph layout and visualiza-
tion. His support of the Graph Drawing Symposium in its early days and his
passion for the subject greatly enriched our community. By dedicating the first
invited talk of GD 2002 to his memory, we would like to honor Ivan’s research
accomplishments and express our admiration and gratitude for the wide and
lasting impact of his contributions to our field.
